I just put in a request as well so don't feel alone. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
I really think my car has found a BoyFriend in KC, cus it sure seems like she doesn't want to leave there. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

I think there is something wrong with the updates (UPRR, I mean)... Kzinti's update said mine was in KY yesterday (at least it had KY written on it - not sure what it all means), so the UPRR should have updated by now.

I was looking forward to tracking it through the country. (I don't get to have any fun [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]).

Bill... I just ordered $80 worth of Zaino! I got everything you got, but added the Z-10 Leather in a Bottle. I need to keep the crimson red leather clean!

Susan... Find anything to protect our tops yet? There is a cleaner and protectant called RaggTopp (Click Here). They sell stuff for fabric and vinyl tops... I'm guessing ours is fabric?

OKC (I don't think I know your name?)... Hopefully we'll have good news from the Commander today! Also, when do you plan on getting your Shaker? I'm thinking about doing that, too, when I can come up with $800. Will be fun to cut a hole in a brand new hood!

I think I have around 116 miles on her... I know, it's a shame.[/b][/quote]The first 91 were put on by the dealer, remember? The next 150 were put on driving it home in the rain. So I think I'm averaging about 50 miles a day now.

I think he spent about $80 also, maybe $90. I am letting him figure out the top protectant thing too. I know I sound dumb but I don't know what it is. I asked Chris in passing the other day if it's vinyl and he said he thought so. Whatever it is, it is about 90% thicker and more durable-feeling than my '89's. Did I tell you I love my car?

Tell me if he finds something for the top... and show him the link I showed you, that stuff sounds pretty good if he can't find something better.

Bill, your torch red in your avatar is prettier than mine. I think my camera needs adjustment. My pics look a little orange. I think yours is more accurate.

Please, please, please, please, please, please tell me!

I invited skoster to come over here... he's the one who's car was built 2/24/05... another quality hold? I hope not, for his sake!

You guys should put links to your albums in your sigs... so I don't have to keep searching for them!

swwake

Invite 'em all. The more the merrier!

What album?

89Trooper

I don't want to spend all of your money at once, but these are also great to have:

http://www.redlinetuning.com/QL-FORD-MUS-05+.html

I have them on the 03 and the 89... they should come this way from the factory!

Mine are on the way! Can't stand prop-rods anymore since having these.

Where did you get that?

I want the shorty antenna and hood lifter thingies now. We saw them from another vendor the other day too - can't remember. You are going to make me broke!

OKCMustangGT

What are the numbers for CN mine doesnt start with ETTX lol [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
Yea I saw some hood props, $99 tho but they don't extend so far down the engine bay. Ill try to find a link to them.

89Trooper

Susan, if you get them, get the antenna from that guy on eBay, and the hood lifters from Redline Tuning. The guy on eBay is great... very quick shipper and the price is right. Redline Tuning has excellent instructions and the kit is very high quality. I sprung for the middle kit with the powdercoated hardware.

And Bill.... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/roll.gif[/img]

OKC... The number for CN would be 23, then 62 (key the letter is on, then the position of that letter)

I was looking at this one too MRT hood struts. Good thing about this one is that it uses existing factory holes, do drilling required. Bad thing is the big bracket with all the holes! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif[/img]

Decisions...

89Trooper

The drilling is a piece of cake... just need to borrow a rivet gun if you don't have one.

And the Redline's are cheaper, too!

I've installed 5 kits now... this will be my 6th!

(Not all my cars.)
